The description matches the symptoms of Turner's syndrome, which is caused by the absence or partial absence of the X chromosome. This results in infertility, mild intellectual disability, and physical characteristics such as short stature. Klinefelter's syndrome involves an extra X chromosome in males, fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects cognitive and social development, and Tay-Sachs disease is a rare, fatal genetic disorder. None of these match the description given.
